Geoff, we miss you deeply mate. I will look back on our duck hunting adventure and treasure the laughs we had as we walked through the bush to find the tinny. The time we went fishing and caught nothing but laughs. The time you ran down a goat. Far out you can run quick. When you took me hunting and talked me through how to steady my self. Geoff this world will not be the same with out you. I love you mate. Rest in peace.
Our deepest sympathy to Geoff’s extended family and friends on his sudden passing.
Geoff was a valuable team member who was extremely talented and will be dearly missed.
A kind and gentle soul who loved his animals.
Robert, Peter and Geraldine Carey and team at Carey Covers
I will miss our chats Geoff
Condolences to Jenny, Jo and their families. Great memories of our times together the weekly dinners, (sorry teas), camping and fishing trips along with all our dogs. The stiring and banter we always shared, stories and knowledge of saddlery, horses, birds and of course Labradors among lots other things. Gone way to soon, miss ya mate.

CONDOLENCE GEOFFREY JOLLY
The Landsborough Community is deeply saddened to lose a much respected Landsborough person in Geoff Jolly who passed away suddenly, on the 29th of September. We offer our deepest sympathy to Jenny and Joanne and family’s.
Geoff grew up in Landsborough and although moving to Marnoo with his family, Geoff still called Landsborough home. Geoff together with his best friend Alan Salter brought horse riding to Landsborough both as recreation and a competitive sport. Geoff’s enthusiasm lead him to have the Landsborough Pyrenees Etched in the records as arguably the best and safest horse riding in the state. Geoff was our Landsborough ride course designer and for over 25 years he designed the course for local rides, a number of Victorian State Championships and in 2002 designed the Landsborough course for what is still regarded as the Tom Quilty National Championship safest and best ride ever. Such was Geoff”s love of and commitment to horse riding and Landsborough he would often call to say he had another ride for Landsborough in the pipeline. We acknowledge and are indeed indebted to Geoff for his friendship and loyalty to his “Home town of Landsborough.”

Oh Geoff….
I have known you for a very long time. From back in our Endurance competing days, and also through your saddlery skills. You have either made new, or repaired many a piece of my driving harness. The last being the patent leather restoration you did on a pony jinker which we showed at Sydney Royal with great success.
Rest in peace my friend. The world has lost a beautiful person. You will be so terribly missed….
Goodbye mate, we’ll miss sharing a sausage roll and a piece of fruitcake in the camp, and the love of arab horses and labradors. Gone far too soon. Lois and Peter, Anne and Darren Jacobson, Tiffy, and Moss one of Jollab’s very finest.
Deepest sympathy to Jenny, Jo and their families. Geoff will be greatly missed. So many good memories of time spent with Geoff talking about our shared love of retrievers during our weekly dinners and phone chats. He was such a kind and gentle person, Rest In Peace.

We are so saddened by Geoff’s sudden passing.
Geoff was a good friend, neighbour, animal lover and tradesman. We will miss the friendly smile, the chats, the horse advice and seeing him walk the dogs every day.
Rest peacefully Geoff.

Geoff the generosity you showed my daughters will never be forgotten and I could never thank you enough. We will think of you every time we saddle Aussie and Minx. Thankyou and RIP. Jason, Jodie, Jemma And Jorja and of course Aussie and Minx
So sad to hear of Geoff’s passing. He, his labradors, horses, saddlery, riding local trails in the Illawarra forest were a significant part of life in Stawell for me. Thanks to Geoff for Jollab Ben Nevis (Barney) and for inspiring me to take up endurance riding. Rest In Peace.
Condolences to all of Geoffs family and friends. We will hold the memories of our friendship close and remember you fondly. Rest easy Geoff.
Love from Tony and Paula Van Eck and the Van Eck Family.

Well good bye my friend your service was beautiful well done to everyone who organised it and sending my sympathy to all your family and friends.
After watching your service, I spent some time with Mark and Wendys labs. You would love them. Im sorry we never got to visit them together as we planned to.

My condolences to Geoff’s family. Such sad news . I knew Geoff through his breeding of his wonderful labradors and always learnt so much from him . A gentle and caring man. I will miss our chats.
Fond memories of a kind , patient and gentle man. Geoff was so helpful to my girls in their pony riding days when they brought in their shredded horse rugs to repair. Always so lovely to talk to.
We are all saddened by his death. Our thoughts are with Geoff’s family.
